Buoyed by the pending vaccine rollout and increased comfort level of consummating transactions in a remote environment, deal activity in 4Q20 continued to recover in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Embracing a “new normal” has allowed strategic buyers to revise M&A strategies and pursue deals that enhance capabilities and achieve scale, while private equity groups (“PEG”) have been increasingly active as they look to deploy large reserves of dry powder
▪ Although Aerospace M&A activity remains below pre-pandemic levels, the sector saw its strongest quarter since the onset of the pandemic, bolstered by a positive economic outlook and robust M&A market
▪ Both Defense and Government Technology Services (“GTS”) M&A activity have returned to pre-pandemic levels as market stabilization has increased buyer confidence and encouraged both strategic and private equity buyers to conduct M&A activity
